Rose Zhang Hopes Nelly Korda Joins WTGL In Season 2

Rose Zhang Hopes Nelly Korda Joins WTGL In Season 2

LPGA player Rose Zhang is looking forward to a busy fall schedule, with her team set to compete in the final WTGL indoor team women's golf league events. Zhang, a two-time LPGA winner, is excited for the jam-packed schedule, noting that it will involve a lot of travel since she is on the West Coast. Zhang, who plays for New York Golf Club and will face Los Angeles Golf Club in WTGL's inaugural match on November 8, along with her teammates Lydia Ko, Danielle Kang, Linn Grant, and Yana Wilson, is hoping to see Nelly Korda join the league in Season 2.

Korda, the No. 1-ranked women's golfer and four-time major champion, has previously expressed criticism of WTGL, stating it is a "huge and unbelievable miss that we're not playing alongside the men." The WTGL schedule will continue through its championship match on December 23, while the men's TGL league begins on December 27. If Season 1 of WTGL is successful, Korda may join the league, according to Zhang.

There are five WTGL teams with five players each, and matches will be played at the SoFi Center in South Florida. ESPN and Ion will broadcast the WTGL games, and Zhang is open to the idea of mixed competition involving both men's and women's golfers in future years.
